Torino – Cagliari

Match analysis

Torino host Cagliari in what promises to be a clash of starkly different fortunes this weekend, with the Sardinians perched fourth on 9 points after three straight wins, while the hosts linger in 14th place with just a solitary victory. Torino’s modest tally of four goals scored and five conceded highlights a leaky defence that will have to tighten up against Cagliari’s efficient 4‑2 record. The visitors, unbeaten in their last three outings, will look to extend their momentum and close the gap on the league leaders, whereas Torino will be desperate to pick up points and climb out of the relegation zone. A win for Torino could spark a much‑needed revival, but Cagliari’s recent form suggests they are the favourites to walk away with all three points.
